Learning to Model

I've the tools, but not the information.

By not kopimi 4 years ago

Okay so, I've REALLY wanted to do some modeling and make my own guns and stuff. I'm really creative and I've got some time on my hands so I know I could be pumping out some really good models for the FPSB community that I've come to love. The only thing stopping me from doing so is my LACK OF KNOW HOW. I've got all the necessary tools including:

PHOTOSHOP

3DS MAX 64 Bit 2009

VTFEdit

You know, that stuff :P

And don't get me wrong, I'm not just coming up here saying TEACH ME TEH MODEL LIKE A PROOFSUNAL, without looking at any tutorials, what I'm asking is for someone to maybe add me on steam: diss4life, and maybe just help me through the kinks of some of these tutorials? For instance, I have an issue where I can't apply the texture to the model correctly, and if I could get past that, I might be able to begin modeling!

So, I know (or at least I THINK) I'm not HATED on FPSB, so maybe some of you people that don't hate me could help? And yes, even though I know I'm not POPULAR, I've helped out as many people as I could on FPSB and I still am, check my date of joining and my post count, so maybe you could help a random person out?

So if not for ME, for FPSB, because whether or not you care about DISS4LIFE making some shitty submissions, I'm almost positive you'd care about "that cool new skin everyones favoriting" (<--Exaggeration yes, but still, in principle I'm right?)

So please, PM me, reply, just please help me? Because I will DEFINITELY make it worth your while.

    3dsmax takes a little while to master. You're not going to be perfect the first day you try stuff.

    Quite an expensive program you got there; birthday present?

    Yes, I am.

    Don't scare the boy, boy. The police target the big name distributors before they target the mass downloaders, you will have a very low chance of being caught for pirating anything until all of the big sites are taken down.

    Ontopic: I suggest following the tutorial Fibbs posted, it seems pretty detailed, I might try it some time.
